| 08/28/2020 | PMCLAUG1 | COMMUNITY PLANNING | REVIEW | Completed | PLAN COMPLIANCE: Staff review finds a preliminary determination that the proposed special exception is consistent with Plan Tucson, and does not require a plan amendment prior to a Zoning Examiner Special Exception Procedure to allow a wireless communication land use. ANALYSIS: The applicant is proposing a special exception on a C-2 zoned lot to allow for a wireless communication land use. The proposed project consists of an 80' tall multi-carrier monopole and equipment compound located on a vacant along Prince Road. The surrounding zoning is C-2 and existing uses surrounding the site are multi-family residential to the west and north, a car dealership to the east, Prince Road to the south. The proposed project does not meet all use specific standards for a wireless communication land use in a C-2 zoned lot to be a 50' Notice Special Exception Procedure. A new tower is limited to being 50-feet or less (U.D.C. policy 4.9.I.5.a.4), and the proposed project shows a tower height of 80-feet. The proposed project meets all use specific standards for U.D.C. policy 4.9.I.6.b, such as the tower being under 80 feet, and being setback a minimum of at least two times the height from any residential or office zoned property, and therefore requires approval as a special exception in accordance with Section 3.4.3, Zoning Examiner Special Exception Procedure. Plan Tucson requires that wireless communication facilities be located, installed, and maintained to minimize visual impact and preserve views. The site plan shows the tower is concealing cables within the tower, and is located at the rear of the parcel away from the street. APPLICABLE PLAN POLICIES: Plan Tucson contains a variety of elements that are categories in four focus areas, including the Social Environment, the Economic Environment, the Natural Environment, and the Built Environment. Each focus area contains specific goals and each element contains specific policies. The Future Growth Scenario Map illustrates different building blocks within the city that have specific policies to promote future growth opportunities. The proposed development lies within the Existing Neighborhoods building block of the Future Growth Scenario Map. LT28.1.2 Require telecommunications facilities be located, installed, and maintained to minimize visual impact and preserve views. Cabling and fiber optics should be installed underground where possible, and the visual impact of cellular towers should be a prime consideration in the City's acceptance and approval. LT28.1.3 Improve the appearance of above-ground utilities and structures and extend access to high-tech wireless communications facilities throughout the city. LT28.2.12 Support environmentally sensitive design that protects the integrity of existing neighborhoods, complements adjacent land uses, and enhances the overall function and visual quality of the street, adjacent properties, and the community. LT28.2.14 Protect established residential neighborhoods by supporting compatible development, which may include other residential, mixed-use infill and appropriate nonresidential uses. |
